One Day at a Time and Immigration (Public Post)

[author_by_night]

With all of the discussion surrounding immigration, I turn to fandom. In the end, writing about the odds and ends of media is one of the ways in which I come to terms with very real events. I'm focusing very specifically on the One Day at a Time Episode "Strays," and how it relates to immigration. This entry assumes the readers have seen at least

I really hope this show gets saved.

Very good insight on the episode :)

I love ODAAT and that was a particularly poignant episode. I felt so sorry for Carmen. It's awful the way immigration works in the USA. We have friends who married spouses from different countries and were separated for years because of trying to follow the legal immigration process. I'm not espousing breaking the law but the whole system sucks. :(

Very interesting. I haven't seen this show yet and I need too.

I wish immigration was more open.
